Metal Mouth Message Board

Thanks alot I wish my cat could have joined me in braces rather than all her teeth being pulled out due to gum problems haha

Ugh. I remember when my bite was messed up too. It was annoying as hell! You seriously look like you have a hollywood smile looking at your pics now

The final result :BigGrin: http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3146/dscf4368r.jpg You can just see the bonded retainers behind my teeth - You have no idea how difficult it was to take a photo of them; I almost blinded myself with the flash on my camera! http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/1493/dscf4369v...

The retainers are great. I actually enjoy wearing them as it stops me grinding my teeth. They are really comfy and you soon get used to them.

OMG, your teeth are sooooo different than when you first started posting. They look so amazing. How much longer do you have to go? I finally got mine off last month! I was so happy I could eat more stuff but i've still been told I can never bite in to an apple due to my bonded retainers :? Oh well, ...

I'm free. I got my braces taken off on the 14th of July. It was extremely quick and painless. I had 3 appointments as I has a bonded retainer put behind my teeth first and some impressions taken. Then I went back for the braces off and more impressions. On my final appointment, I just had to collect...

I had salad as a first meal and I think I gave up and went hungry :cry: . Now I eat everything, even stuff you aren't supposed to eat with braces on (I do like a challenge :P ). I have never broken a bracket off either. I just cut things up super small and chew very carefully. I've been told I look ...

Hi. I also had a removable brace for around 5 months on my upper teeth. (I have some pics on my braces story I think) I think I was kind of in the same situation as you as if I didn't wear it, my top teeth would clash against the braces on my bottom teeth which was annoying. You're lucky you avoided...

I have like 3 appointments in one week in July to get debraced. It's because i'm getting bonded retainers and impressions for the clear retainers that I will have to wear at night for 5 months. How much is it gonna hurt? I've had one or two brackets pulled off before but I can't imagine ALL of them ...

7 months in upper braces pics http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/3756/dscf4181d.jpg http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/8098/dscf4186y.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/2391/dscf4191f.jpg She took off the awful gold hooks at my last appointment and also pulled off some brackets and stuck them on a...

I had 2 teeth extracted from the top. I spent 5 months with huge gaps as I had to wear a removable brace first. I finally got fixed braces on my upper teeth just over 6 months ago and the gaps are almost completely closed today. You can hardly tell I had any teeth extracted now. I wouldn't worry too...

Wow. Amazing progress. :HugeGrin: I can't believe how much your teeth have moved. You'll have to take a front pic of them sometime. I bet they look pretty straight head on. Mine look fine if I face the camera directly. When I turn slightly for a photo all those darn gaps appear though. I saw my orth...

I've hit the 6 month mark for my upper braces! :jump: http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/2701/dscf4128u.jpg http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/9396/dscf4130d.jpg My ortho put powerchains across all of my upper teeth on my last visit. I actually got a bit of a shock as she said if they keep moving the ...

Hey Chrystal, It's been a while since i've checked out your story so I've just been having a quick read through. I saw your post about the lipguard you bought. I've not really had any problems with the brackets rubbing my gums but I was thinking about getting a mouthguard for sports as I'm likely to...

And heres the photos from the 5 month mark. Check out the weird gold hooks my ortho attached. http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5585/dscf4020l.jpg http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1459/dscf4019d.jpg http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/7731/dscf4018z.jpg http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5724/dscf...
